Surprising “photomolecular effect” discovered by MIT researchers could affect calculations of climate change and may lead to improved desalination and drying processes.

More stable clocks could measure quantum phenomena, including the presence of dark matter.

A newly identified process could explain a variety of natural phenomena and enable new approaches to desalination.

Using multiple observatories, astronomers directly detect tellurium in two merging neutron stars.

The findings point to faster way to detect bacteria in food, water, and clinical samples.

MIT system demonstrates greater than 100-fold improvement in energy efficiency and a 25-fold improvement in compute density compared with current systems.

The disorganized arrangement of the proteins in light-harvesting complexes is the key to their extreme efficiency.

A new computer vision system turns any shiny object into a camera of sorts, enabling an observer to see around corners or beyond obstructions.

New repair techniques enable microscale robots to recover flight performance after suffering severe damage to the artificial muscles that power their wings.

A new method can produce a hundredfold increase in light emissions from a type of electron-photon coupling, which is key to electron microscopes and other technologies.
